The ukrainian authorities They asked the population of kyiv this Saturday to try to save electricity between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. This in order to avoid emergency cuts. Above all, after a missile has hit a plant located on the outskirts of the city.
the electric company Ukrenergo shared a post on Facebook in which he asked citizens to recharge their mobile phones and portable batteries before the afternoon entrance. Also that they prepare dinner in advance if they had an electric stove.
The reason, they detailed, is that the “terrorists” are trying to put an end to the substations that have the necessary transformers to reduce the voltage of the current so that it can be distributed to consumers. This with the aim of leaving thousands of citizens in kyiv without electricity.
“If our substation is damaged or destroyed, Ukrenergo energy workers immediately try to cure consumers with other connections, often ‘field road’ lines. Not as reliable a source of energy as motorways and that’s the main reason we ask you to save.” This was explained in the statement.
The company explained that if, on the contrary, they experienced an increase in consumption, given the inability to transmit energy through other channels, they would be forced to generate an emergency cut or blackout. So they have asked that it stop being consumed after 11:00 p.m.
